Welcome to a new year at St Michael’s. Tomorrow the first Liturgy for 2021 will be held at 11.30am in the hall. During the Liturgy we will commission and celebrate the 2021 Year 6 students as they accept their leadership responsibilities within our school community. We ask God to bless them, that they may grow together to reach their hopes and dreams, trying to walk in the path of the Good Samaritan, caring for each other and their neighbours.  Unfortunately we still have many COVID restrictions in place, so the Liturgy will only be for our Year 6 students and their teachers. 

We are pleased to announce that Friday Grade Masses will commence again this term. They will be held on a Friday at 9.30am in the church. Once again, only the Grade and their teachers can attend at this stage. Hopefully restrictions will ease as the year progresses and families will be able to join us.

Years 3 to 6 and their teachers will attend mass on Ash Wednesday at 11.30am in the hall. Kindergarten, Year 1 and Year 2 will hold a Liturgy in their classroom. Unfortunately, no family members or parishioners will be allowed to attend.

It is very disappointing that we can not share these significant events with the wider St Michael’s community, but we appreciate your support and understanding. It is wonderful that our students will be able to attend mass this term. Below are a list of the masses.
